Our three meals were excellent although waiting for first order for 45 minutes in a nearly empty restaurant is too long and very unusual for the Cradock...

Sunday lunch was excellent. Only marked down because (i) was told were booked up when tried to move time in advance, when they clearly weren’t (there is plenty of space and unused main rooms); and (ii) we didn’t find the two female staff (students possibly) on the tables very professional. We asked for a slight variation to the menu (due to one of the party being ill) and were treated with disdain for doing so, with a ‘can’t do’ attitude, and subsequent whispering between them, eye rolling etc. which was off putting. May give them a second chance because the food was good, but was an unpleasant experience, especially after a two hour drive to get there and catch up with relatives.

Food was very nice. However, we waited for nearly an hour from ordering it to it arriving at the table, no on ecame back to our table within this time to take another drinks order. One meal was then brought 5 minutes after everyone else's.

Good choice of meals. Drinks served quickly but food a little slow to arrive. (We found out later that they were 1 chef down, so they coped well considering this). Nice family atmosphere, not too noisy.

Excellent food, first class service, rather noisy, but to be expected on a Sat night after a soccer home game for Leicester City. Will become a regular venue for us in the future.

It was fabulous as always. The atmosphere, staff and food was lovely! Just one thing I’d say about the prawn cocktail starter is it would be a lot better if the butter was slightly melted on the bread as we couldn’t spread it. Overall, wonderful!

What a fabulous Sunday lunch. A very well thought out menu and lots of home made puds. Nothing worse than paying a fiver for a piece of previously frozen cake.! The staff were all so nice and friendly. We'll ll be back.

A very popular destination for family at the weekend. Glad we booked in advance. Service was slow due to volume of customers, however the food was excellent and the waiting team were very attentive when they had time.

We love the Cradock. The staff are amazing, the food is great value, and the disabled access makes it a wonderful choices for a multi-generational family with various needs. We couldn't recommend it more highly.

Always good food but on this occasion a vegetarian tortellini had meat in. The chef did come out to apologise and was a genuine mistake. He did offer another starter or drink.

We were shown to our table but after half an hour had gone by I had to stop a waiter and let him know that nobody had been to ask for our drinks and food order. He was very apologetic but did ensure that a waitress came to us immediately. The drinks came very quickly but there was a long wait for our meals. However when the meals arrived they were lovely and hot and very delicious. In favour of the establishment it was an extremely busy evening with obvious delays in the kitchen. On a less busy evening I don't think we would have encountered any problems. I will certainly visit again as the range and quality of food is very good

For Sunday lunch no veg dish available but only vegetables. I go many places and they always have a veg dish available. My son had to share vegetables with his dad with their mains which they were not happy about
